#445 โ€“ Vivek Ramaswamy: Trump, Conservatism, Nationalism, Immigration, and War

I think it might be the most undemocratic thing that's happened in the history of our country, actually, is the way in which government actors who were never elected to the government used private sector actors to suppress information on the eve of an election that, based on polling afterwards, likely did influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

That was election interference of the highest order. So I think that that's just a hard fact that we have to contend with. And I think a lot of what you've heard in terms of complaints about the 2020 election whatever those complaints have been, take place against the backdrop of large technology companies interfering in that election in a way that I think did have an impact on the outcome.

I personally believe that the Hunter Biden laptop story had not been suppressed and censored. I think Donald Trump would have been unambiguous. I think the president of the United States right now would be Donald Trump, no doubt about it, in my mind. If you look at polling before and after and the impact that would have had on the independent voter.

Now you look at, okay, let's talk about constructive solutions because I care about moving the country forward. What is a constructive solution to this issue of concerns about election integrity? Here's one. Single day voting on election day as a national holiday with paper ballots and government issued voter ID to match the voter file. I favor that.

We do it even in Puerto Rico, which is a territory of the United States. Why not do that everywhere in the United States? And I'll make a pledge. I'll do it right here, right? My pledge is, as a leader in our movement, I will do everything in my power to make sure we are done complaining about stolen elections.

If we get to that simple place of basic election security measures, I think it'd be unifying to make Election Day a national holiday that unites us around our civic purpose one day. Single day voting on Election Day is a national holiday with paper ballots and government issued voter ID to match the voter file. Let's get there as a country and you have my word.

I will lead our movement in whatever way I can to make sure we are done complaining about stolen elections and fake ballots. And I think the fact that you see resistance to that proposal, which is otherwise very practical, very reasonable, nonpartisan proposal. I think the fact of that resistance actually provokes a lot of understandable skepticism.
